They could disappear
A popular path dubbed the 'world's most beautiful view' could be lost forever if money can't be raised to fund the repairs.
It is at this point that you should be able to feast your eyes on a breathtaking view of the Lune Valley and Underley Hall. This scene was painted by the artist JMW Turner in 1822 and the picture so impressed the 19th century art critic and poet John Ruskin, that he wrote: ‘I do not know in all my country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine.’
But now there are fears this tourist attraction could be closed off forever, or even destroyed completely if the slope collapses. It has prompted the community and town council to rally together in a bid to help preserve the route. It is estimated that the costs to make it safe are going to be more than a £1 million and to help raise these funds residents have had their 'rates' doubled so contributions can be added to the fund in the next two years.
